For Bonsai enthusiasts, the ficus tree is the tree of choice. It is easy to grow, cultivate, and shape compared to most exotic species and does well when “miniaturized.” Most students are introduced to the art of Bonsai through the ficus tree.
Of course, the ficus is not the only tree used when making miniature Bonsai, but it is the favored one. They just have distinct advantages over other types of tree. They are generally more resilient than other species, they take to “miniaturization” well, and they are fairly easy to trim and manipulate during the art of Bonsai.

It is useful to know that the word “bonsai” is pronounced “bone-sigh”, with “bon” being translated as “tray” and “sai” as tree. A wide range of bonsai types are available and it is important to know that they get better with age!
All bonsais have varying styles, some are informal upright while others are upright cascade, semi-cascade, literati and raft.

Feng Shui is a popular Chinese tradition that focus on harmonizing your life with the natural elements like water, fire, and earth. It gives great importance in the correct placement of different lucky charms in your home and workplace. It is believed that such practice will give you a harmonious life through the use of your talents without any difficulties.
Hydroponic (roots immersed in water rather than dirt), lucky bamboo plants are used by Feng Shui practitioners for favorable placement around the home or office to bring good fortune to the occupants as well as the home or business. Dwarfed in the same fashion as the bonsai tree, the Feng Shui bamboos are cute versions of the wild bamboos native to Asia and Africa.

Many people choose to decorate the interior of their homes with bonsai trees due to their uniqueness. However, these plants are equally beautiful when used as part of your outdoor landscaping. Outdoor bonsai trees are true bonsais. The main differences between indoor and outdoor bonsai trees is the scale of the outdoor tree and the challenges it will face in the outside environment.
The types of trees that are usually kept indoors and flourish are a kind of tropical tree. The indoor environment is what they are best suited for. It does not hurt them to be placed outdoors for short periods of time in the spring or late summer.
